Description 

Located on the west face of the Planet X Pinnacle, right of the route Planet Y (5.10a) is this all bolted route that is not a sport climb.

Climb an easy ramp up to the base of a headwall and then climb large edges to a very high first bolt (a fall before the first bolt would be bad). Once the first bolt is reached well protected thin edges/smears lead up and right to another bolt near the southwest arete which is then followed to the summit of the formation.

Good climbing but the lack of protection at the start makes this a climb only for those not leading at their limit. One star out of five.

Protection 

2 bolts, bolted anchor/rap (all 3/8")
